R. Thomas, and a little later O. H.
Carner and M. J. Anderson were
added, making the committee eight
instead of six as at first proposed,
and the combined committe 14.
The two commitcx-H will now act as
one and make investigations, receive
propositions from anyone who is in
position to furninh water, and in short
to devise wijs and nit-aim for the or
eanization of a irrigation compnny,
the building of did hi s, and api lyinx
the water to the lauds.

Following the adjournment the two
committees assembled and decided to

organize for prompt action along the
lines of irrigation.

WORK FOR INDIVIDUALS.
How to Mak a Town Attractive and
Wide Awake.
During the warm, summer-like days
we experience in the spring our
thoughts turn (not lightly) to things
rural. We long for green fields, shady
nooks, the rippling brooks and singing
birds. Some of tbese charms are pres
ent about every town and village, and
If the place be clean and treat the
streets well planted, foothill and can
yon not too far away, the springtime
proves a harvest Mnny do uot care
for the extremely dull monotony of our
seaside resorts and choose rather the
charms of the woodland und pasture,
green' and fresh. Lucky the town
whose appearance nttracts the summer
visitor.
A large part of the responsibility for
attractiveness lies with the Individual.
See that your hedge is trimmed, your
feme nnd gate In good repair and
neatly painted. Your sidewalk, wheth
er cement or gravel (wood is scarcely
permissible), should be In good condi
tion. The street and gutters In front
of your property must be kept free
from weeds, paper und other rubbish,
nnd all such should bo burned in the
yard, uot lu the street. Cut your lawn
often, trim your trees nnd plants nnd
give nil about you nn 'alive nnd up to
date" look. After you have done this
see what you enn do to awaken a
neighborhood Interest In Improvement
it tuny lie you can only organize a
"block lientttlful club," or the move
ment mny assume dimensions that
would warrant the formation of an
Improvement society. Civic benuty Is
an asset civic ugliness a liability.
Which will you choose?
UNTIDY PARKS.
Useful Suggestion For Keeping Pleas
ure Grounds In Order.
A good hint for keeping parks clenu
Is contained in the following views of
a New York man who believes in or
der: "I wish that every man or woman
who goes into one of our beautiful
parks on Sunday morning from now ou
could have received the training I did
when camping out as a boy In Canada.
I was taught to pick up every bit of
paper, every scrap of every kind left
over from a meal, nnd to put It In the
camp tire. And ufter nil the refuse
hnd been consumed we always hud to
soo to It that the fire was put out so
that there would Is? no (lunger of start
ing a forest fire. The result of such
training Is to muke one careful of othc
folks' rights, and thnt would work out
here splendidly.
"For If men und women who went
Into a park on Sunday morning nnd
used n portion of their newspaper as
a protection from the dampness of the
earth would only pick it up and carry
It oft with them to deposit It in the
nearest receptacle for such things tho
general appearance of our pleasure
grounds would le Improved Immense
ly. It distresses me to see the beauti
ful lawns marred by these bits of pa-
per nt u time wlieu they ought to look
their liest nnd ns they would look all
summer long If each Individual would
do his share In keoplng them in order."
Get Trad by Advertising.
The best way In which the merchants
in mo towns nun smaller cities rati
light the mall order houses is to udver
tlve. They know most of their patrons
personally, can show them the goods
before they buy them, have many other
advantages over the mall order house
nnd In almost every instance can sell
Just as cheap If not cheaper, remarks
the Buckeye (Ohio! Informer.
If the home merchant lacks foresight
and Is too penurious to properly adver
tise his goods, why should the publish
er exert himself to keep the trade nt
home for lihnV If solicitations on the
part of the publisher fail to educate
the merchant to the fact that be must
advertise If he wants to keep up with
tho procession, then nothing Is left to
the merchant but to learn lu the school
of experience, nnd If the teachings of
that renowned school are of no effect
on blni then there Is noplace for him.
and eventually his place In the cotn
niervhil world will be taken up by
some more enterprising competitor.
